Natasha Watts & Dave Cottle Trio

Natasha Watts and the Dave Cottle Trio play Langlands Brasserie on Sunday 8 November, part of the Swansea Jazz Club's Jazz & Dine series. It's a combined dinner and show, so you're getting a meal and a gig in one sitting rather than just a table for the music.

Watts is a vocalist and songwriter whose work sits across soul, jazz and R&B, and she's been at it for more than a decade. Her debut album got plenty of attention for its melodies and lyrics, and she's worked her way through a career that spans over ten years. In terms of where she draws from, she points to Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder and Jill Scott — names that place her sound firmly in the soul and R&B tradition, with the jazz coming through in the trio setting.

The evening is set up as a Jazz & Dine night, which means the food comes first. A two-course dinner from the Jazz Menu is served from 7pm, with a vegan option available, so you can eat and settle in before the music starts. The set follows from 8:30pm, with an interval in the middle, and it wraps up around 10:15 or 10:30pm. The whole thing runs about three and a half hours from start to finish, so it's a full evening rather than a quick stop.

Tickets start from £49.77, and they're non-refundable, so keep that in mind when you book. The night runs from 7pm to 10:30pm at Langlands Brasserie on Brynfield Road, SA3 4SQ.
